Also available as vanilla pods and vanilla extract kits. Our intensely flavorful Nyanza Vanilla Powder is made simply from the peak ripeness, extra sweet split vanilla pods that are ground into an intensely flavorful powder. There are 6 whole vanilla pods in each jar, ready right out of the jar—no chopping, scraping or waiting around for extract need. What makes the powder special is its powerful, rich flavor from the sweet, marshmallow-y vanilla seeds and the tart-cherry and apricot notes of the outer husk. Use it for baking, cold brews, smoky-spicy rubs, slow-and-low braises, balsamic vinaigrette, decadent smoothies and warming libations. Simply use half to an equal amount of powder in place of vanilla extract for alcohol-free, pure vanilla flavor. It's grown in the hills around Nyanza (aka Lake Victoria) in Tanzania, where the altitude, rich soil and temperate climate produce an especially rich, sweet vanilla.
